We invited team members of the [El Sur Resiste](https://www.elsurresiste.org/) movement to the [Guardian Project podcast](https://guardianproject.info/podcast/) to share with us their experiences using [ProofMode](https://proofmode.org) to document the negative impact of the Mayan Train development in southern states of Mexico.

_Invitamos a miembros del equipo del movimiento El Sur Resiste al podcast del proyecto Guardian para compartir con nosotros sus experiencias utilizando ProofMode para documentar el impacto negativo del desarrollo del Tren Maya en los estados del sur de México._

We were joined by Nicolas and Armando from the [Laboratorio de Medios Libres](https://laboratoriodemedios.org/) who were in charge of the communications logistics of the caravan. Using [ProofMode](https://proofmode.org), they documented their travels and the many environmental and social issues being caused by the Mayan Train development project. They contributed their verifiable photos and videos to [ProofMode Baseline](/baseline) for preservation and storage on the [IPFS](https://ipfs.io) and [Filecoin](https://filecoin.io) decentralized and immutable storage networks.
